Kokesh Penalty Reduced to General Discharge

Marine commander Lt. Gen. John Bergman today announced he had endorsed a review board recommendation that Cpl. Adam Kokesh get a "general discharge under honorable conditions."

Bergman levied the penalty on Kokesh for his actions in a March war protest and his subsequent obscene communication with a superior officer. With the sanction, Kokesh will keep his veterans' benefits.

But the corporal, who is now a student at George Washington University, said he'll appeal.

"We can't drop this," he said. "No precedent has been established. The Marine Corps got away with something in this case."

He's a very brave soul to keep rattling the cage.
